insertcoolnamehereintellectualizing every facet of living while good intentioned definitely has had an effect on taking society out of...well just doing the deed and started a***yzing things that decades before an internet existed, people both awkward and "charismatic" just had to learn to thug through the awkwardness that is life's moments and learn to embrace said awkwardness because that is a reminder that you are alive dammit
If folks wasn't so dead fearful of things like rejection or just...coming off awkward (cause @op you're gonna come off awkward when getting to know someone new because, you're getting to know someone new. But that's fine because it's natural to come off awkward to a total stranger lol)
We are naturally a social species it is literally in our being to socialize. The problem is (and covid sped it up but we was heading here) late stage capitalism has brought people into isolation and thus has eradicated the "need" of said experience.
-from someone that had to go through probably the worst s*** imaginable in his life this year to realize outward perception/rejection are so f***ing minor.
i feel u fam. need to kick that fear of outward perception/rejection off that pedestal

May 25·1 replyJust pick a dive bar in your neighborhood and go there like three times a week with a book for something. Eventually you’ll become a familiar face and people will chat you up. If you can find one that plays Jeopardy that’s even better because you can answer questions aloud with people and have lots of ways to make convo
Becoming a bar regular is a sure fire way to make friends. Just don’t get too f***ed up and you good. I’d recommend smoking cigs as well if you don’t already

May 26Dk if I can give advice on this boss. I enjoy socializing and I don't think I'm trash at it, js that I'm only okay w people that I'm alrd close with. Couple times I've heard from the girls (girls js more likely to say this out loud ig while guys wouldn't see it as an issue) that I seem arrogant lol. I don't see myself as passive either, I don't dislike approaching strangers first, those interaction I don't see it as socializing though that's prob why

nah I resonate with that bro, I lived in 4 cities growing up and had to start over at a new school each time so I can definitely see why it’d be hard to make friends or only get to barely know them. my fault for the initial post lol
honestly bruh, if I were you, I’d just strike up conversation even if it’s about the most random thing, people just like talking when they’re out. my brother pretty good at meeting random people, but you kinda just gotta have that vibe about you that you’re genuinely interested in this interaction with the other person and most people sense it and become friendly and now you chilling with a new friend, even for a short time

As someone incredibly awkward on the front end of meeting people and generally fairly well liked on the back end, I wish I had an answer for you op
I just basically go out to places and hope niggas give me a chance to be myself lol. Have a much less dour external appearance than I do, that would be my best advice actually. Just look approachable - half the battle
